San Diego State's basketball team has been so bad for so long that last night marked the first time in its history that they managed to defeat BYU three times in a row. SDSU swept BYU last season and in their first meeting of this season, and just a few minutes into the game the […]
It's ironic that Benjamin Franklin's 300th birthday was yesterday and we once again encounter a big business behaving badly. Major League Baseball, which most recently switched from juiced balls to juiced players, is claiming that it owns the copyrights to its statistics.

If you're lucky you may see the beginning of the play on […]
Cal Poly will play Montana next week in the first round of the NCAA IAA football playoffs. Cal Poly lost a close one to Montana at Montana earlier this season. Go Mustangs!
